YOU CUT FUNDING FOR THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. THIS is what happens when you do that, you fucking ghoul.
Our nation's heart breaks for the victims in Texas and their families. Just an incomprehensible tragedy. I hope everyone affected knows they're in the prayers of my family, and of millions of Americans. ***Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.***

“Yes the hour is dark, evil comes forth in the guise of good. It is a time of double talk when men in high places have a high blood pressure of deceptive rhetoric and an anemia of concrete performance.” 1/2

75 views for 2k followers. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Yeah, ok, thanks for proving me right, that this hellsite is dead.
Feels like an eternity ago. Now as I prepare to jump from this sinking ship, I look around and see hollowness and grift where world-changing interconnection used to exist. Fuck you Elon Musk. #MyXAnniversary

I am once again asking government agencies, advisory committees, reviewers to consider why we need to use the word "thrust" when "topic area," "subject matter," and "focus" are right there. They're right there, and they're not cringe. Please.

My first corresponding, two-author paper, at @ChemicalScience 😁 X-ray structures of porphyrin nanorings. They’re more flexible than you think! We @HLAGroupOx report 3 pseudopolymorphs and a fullerene cocrystal. Look at this nice packing! (1/3) pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

I hope this paper will be interesting to all those who like large molecular rings, big crystal structures, porphyrins and fullerenes and their assembly! @mvdelius @MichelRickhaus @mathiassenge @profjasti @stepienlab @JackKClegg @XtalGrrl

A scientist never checks out of their conference hotel late, nor are they ever early, they check out precisely when they mean to.

Looks like the EMA beamline at @CNPEM SIRIUS is doing everything I wanted to do at my old beamline. I love to see it.

The team is looking forward to meeting everyone at ECM34. In addition to the new PhotonJetMAX we are offering live demonstrations of the Synergy-ED.

The next time Europeans tell me they don't have racism like the US, I'm gonna think back to today when the Europeans in front of me were making snide comments about a speaker's accent.

Greeted this morning by a brass band that I swear was singing about the banks of the Sacramento, or maybe that was the jet lag speaking? #SRI2024

Following on from a conversation at #MOF2024 (maybe with @ProfValeskaTing & @_gracefarmer), I thought I'd post about Edith Flanigen. Now 95, she worked at Union Carbide (later UOP) & was a pioneer in the field of zeolites, holding over 100 patents. 1/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_…

I made this playlist and yet, it's still surprisingly fun. If your day needs a dance or singalong break...
